Her thoughtful portraits will linger with you long after the book is finished." -- Madeline Miller, author of Circe"A Thousand Ships does more than acknowledge the suffering of women. It tells in lively fashion gripping tales of bravery, treachery and revenge. . . . Its a timely notion as the modern world reckons with who gets to tell the stories of its diverse populations." -- Washington Post"In Natalie Haynes own brilliant construction, the 10-year tale of the Trojan War is retold by the many women ignored, widowed, enslaved, heartbroken and snuffed out by the pride and stupidity of warring men.... A fresh and utterly satisfying feminist take on one of the oldest stories in Western literature." -- Melissa Gray, NPR Best Books of the Year"Savvy and well plotted.... Hayness inventiveness in conjuring the lives of Greek and Trojan women through... evocative details keeps the novel humming." -- New York Times Book Review"Absorbing and fiercely feminist . . . this subversive re-seeing of the classics is a many-layered delight." -- Guardian"A witty, unapologetically feminist story of womens suffering, courage, and endurance... Haynes freshly modern version of an ancient tale is perfect for our times." -- Booklist"An enthralling reimagining of the lives of women from both Troy and Greek culture. . . . Haynes shines by twisting common perceptions of the Trojan War and its aftermath in order to capture the womens experiences." -- Publishers Weekly"Clever and entertaining." -- Times, UK"Haynes is master of her trade . . . She succeeds in breathing warm life into some of our oldest stories." -- Telegraph, UK"This lively reinvention [of the Trojan War] is worth the journey." -- Library Journal Review Quote "With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War. Her thoughtful portraits will linger with you long after the book is finished."
